We had a fantastic experience with our tour guide Will. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared great stories throughout the tour, which made London come alive in a really engaging way. He was very accommodating and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included, adjusting the pace and stops as needed. Thanks to Will, we enjoyed London even more than we expected. His insight and enthusiasm really added to the experience, and we left feeling like we had a much deeper appreciation of the city. Highly recommended—Will is an excellent guide and we would happily tour with him again.
Brandon was such a great guide and both held our attention and had us laughing throughout the tour. He offered lots of fun and interesting facts and gave us insider views and tips. Highly recommend.
Jack was a great tour guide. Unfortunately despite paying 42% more for a small group tour (10 people or less), we showed up to find ourselves in a group of 20. we tipped Jack for his time but have still not heard from the office despite multiple attempts for a 42% refund. the same tour is that much less when it is not booked as a small group option. DO NOT BOOK - FALSE MARKETING and UNPROFESSIONAL.
Connor what's an exceptional guide. He provided a multitude of historical facts and gave plenty of time to take pictures. This is a fast-paced tour
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the many locations where we stopped and thoroughy answered all questions from the group.
The tour was average . The tour advertised as a maximum of 10 people - there was 13 People on this one . To be told at the beginning of the tour that tips are well received and if you have no cash , there is the option to pay a tip by card was off putting considering the cost of the tour . The sites we saw were good and Benedict was knowledgeable.
13 people You mean : 10 adults and 3 kids..... I bet them extra 3 people really ruined the tour....
Connor, our guide, was so informative, interesting, and fun. My family enjoyed the walking tour, and I would recommend it to anyone for a comprehensive overview of London’s sites.
Fantastic tour. Adrian was extremely knowledgeable and also humorous. We learned a great deal about each of our stops on the tour. Highly recommend!
Nathaniel did a fantastic job with the tour. He didn’t rush us and was a wealth of knowledge about London and the stops we had. Highly recommend him and the tour to visitors in London.
This was definitely worth it! Nick, our tour guide was an incredible wealth of knowledge. It was a pleasant pace, relaxing, time to take pictures, bathroom breaks, and get snacks. Learned so much!
